    It is a treasure. Can you imagine someone sitting there making it only to have it sold at a garage sale for $4.00.

    At least it went to someone who understands it true value!

    Congratulations, on your find. I know you'll use it as it was meant to be!

    Their loss, your big find!

    I just fall out of my chair when I read stories like this. Why in the world families sell off heirlooms like this for pennies is beyond me. Glad you (who will appreciate it) were there to give it a loving home.

    Very nice! Too bad the family did not cherish it more, but it's their loss and your gain!

    That's ok Eddie, if they settled the score...it gave me a wonderful opportunity to own something special. I will treasure her quilt, no matter how mean and ugly she could have been LOL.
